board of directors last night voted
to appoint a committee to take up
with state officials matters on

He suggested projects of merit
in this area to include widening
and improving the highway from
Salem to New Era and through
Oregon City ; to make a superior
road connecting with the : new
Oregon , City-Portland road. For
park work he suggested that the
Champoeg park be transferred
from the board of control to the
highway commission which has
a park supervisor; and that this
park and Silver Creek Fall park
have Improvements mad - which
would make-them more attract
ive. I-
"Sliver Creek fall park can be
made on of the greatest scenic
attractions of the country," said
Senator Spauldlng. "Trails should
be built, the county might erect a
clubhouse, other buildings should
he erected, then with the com
pletion of the loop road this
would make a wonderful place
which tourists would travel miles
to see." i
Government Help
May Be Expected
He suggested that the govern
ment be solicited to do revetment
work on the liver bank at Cham
poeg, and then, state funds be
used to Improve the park Itself
